Renner's Ex-Wife Seeking Child Custody and Support

Jeremy Renner’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco is requesting primary
child custody, in addition to child support and for her lawyers’
fees to be paid by her estranged husband.

Divorce Filing and Child Custody

Renner, 44, and Pacheco, 26, have been married for less than two years.
Pacheco, a model and actress, filed for divorce in early December 2014,
citing irreconcilable differences. She’s also claiming the prenuptial
agreement should be rendered void because it was based on “fraud.”

She is asking for primary physical custody but joint legal custody over
their daughter, Ava Berlin. She is 22 months old. Physical custody means
that Ava Berlin will live with Pacheco full time. Joint legal custody
means that Renner will be able to have a say in legal matters, such as
health care and education.

Unsafe Home for Child

Pacheco has made claims that Renner’s house is unsafe. The court
documents allege that the household contains hazards such as an unfenced
pool are and koi pond. The documents also allege that Renner’s house
contains a guns and weapons collection. Pacheco is requesting that Renner
baby-proof his L.A. residence.

In the divorce papers, Pacheo alleges, “I have been the parent that
cares for Ava on a daily basis. [Renner] rarely spent one-on-one time
with Ava and when he did it’s my recollection it was as a result
of my insistence that he do so.”

Child Support

Pacheco is also seeking child support. She is currently unemployed with
no income. She is claiming that in 2014 Renner earned $3.4 million and
that the actor has $13 million in assets. She is also requesting $75,000
to cover attorneys’ fees and $25,000 for additional legal expenses.

Pacheco is claiming that Renner withheld and is currently withholding her
passport. “I am seeking an order from the Court requiring [Renner]
to return my social security card and birth certificate, which were maintained
in the safe at [his] residence, and my passport and drivers license which
were in my wallet.”
